Wizardry System - Chapter 56

“Chris!” Both Hermione and Kristine shouted at the same time running towards him. However, it seemed that they were stuck as they were running in the same place unable to move forward.

As the red mist was about to envelope Chris, he opened his eyes and from the corners of his eyes, he noticed a blue mist rapidly coming towards his direction.

‘God damn it another one? Are the girls going to be alright?’ Chris thought as his fear started to get replaced with worry. However, instead of going to Hermione and Kristine, the blue mist instead went to the red mist and let out a bright light.

‘What’s going on?!’ Chris thought as he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the blue and red mist turned into a tall man with a red beard and a sword and a beautiful woman with raven black hair wearing a diadem. The two were both wearing clothing that seemed reminiscent of the 14th century.

“Hello there young man,” The woman said. “Forgive this unsavory man for pulling such a horrible prank on you,”

The woman proceeded to hit the man in the head and Chris heard loud thunk sounds for every hit.

“Come on you old bag. Can’t you let me have some fun every once in a while?” The man said. “We haven’t been able to talk to other human beings in centuries,”

“That does not mean you can act like you’re some sort of devil and pretend to make this young man make such a difficult choice like that!” The woman exclaimed hitting the man once again. “And who are you calling an old bag? If memories serve me right, you were the one on your knees begging for this ‘old bag’ to accept you,”

“Alright woman, that’s going too far. You-”

“Don’t talk anymore. Look at those kids, they looked confused,” The woman said as she pointed at Chris, Hermione, and Kristine.

Indeed the three were very confused. The man and woman both seemed extremely familiar to the three of them, but they couldn’t grasp who the two were.

“Wait, are you Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw?!” Hermione asked excitedly.

“Indeed we are,” Rowena said. “I am Rowena Ravenclaw and this boorish man is Godric Gryffindor. Might I ask who you three are?”

“Oh I am Hermione. She is Kristine and he is Chris,” Hermione answered.

“You three must be from Hogwarts. Which house are you in?” Rowena asked.

“We are all in the Ravenclaw house. Thank you for saving us earlier Founder,” Kristine said.

“Oh it seems that you are all from my house. From the bravery shown by this young man, I was suspecting that he was from the Gryffindor House,” Rowena said. “Well what a pleasant surprise. Come with us. You must be feeling weird being in this dull white space,”

Rowena and Godric started walking towards the direction they came from and Chris, Hermione, and Kristine followed them. Soon after what felt like 15 minutes, the white space suddenly changed into a forest. There were three log cabins with two of them being right next to each other and the other one being relatively far away.

Rowena and Godric entered one of the cabins.

“Come in,” Rowena said with a smile.

The three went in and the decor was something that you would imagine in every modern log cabins. Wooden tables, wooden chairs, a fireplace, a small circular marble table and even sofas, something Chris did not expect. The only things that were “missing” were TVs and refrigerators

“This place is beautiful,” Hermione said.

“Thank you dear. It took us a long time to be able to decorate our living room to the way it is right now. While we are stuck in this space, using a bit of our powers to explore the outside world every so often is possible,” Rowena said.

“So if you are able to see the events of the outside world, did you see the deeds of the Dark Lord?” Chris asked.

“Yes, we did briefly see him rampaging throughout the Wizarding World. Surprisingly, it was our dear old friend Salazar who was the most disgusted. While he isn’t too biased against Half-Bloods, the fact that one of his descendants actually had a child with a Muggle angered him quite a bit,” Rowena said.

“But you should have seen the look on Salazar’s face. He was quite upset to see that Voldemort or whatever you call him was actually doing quite well in his conquest. Was that guy the king of the Wizarding World for a while? It would be hilarious if that was so,” Godric said as he was trying to hold back his laughter much to the annoyance of Rowena who started to glare at him.

“No he was defeated by someone in your house,” Chris said.

“Haha! I knew that the people in my house had it in them!” Godric cried out loudly.

“Quiet you damn monkey,” A new man’s voice said as they entered the house. He was a bald man with a white beard with an evil-like appearance. He was wearing a green robe with a large snake imprinted on the front. On his neck was a peculiar locket.

“Hello Salazar. It seems that the ape is you considering that you don’t even have the manners to knock before entering someone’s home,” Godric said with a smile.

“Hmph, I merely wanted to see the visitors, but it turns out that they are just children,” Salazar said. “And do not mention that half-blood descendant of mine. His wizard parent is a disgrace to my name! As my kin, they should’ve known better to fall in love with a filthy Muggle!”

“It seems that you still can’t get over your hate for Muggles,” A woman’s voice said as she entered the house. She was a bit chubby, but she seemed the most mȧturė out of all the people here as if she was the mother figure. She was wearing a yellow dress and brought a cup with her.

“Quiet Helga. I will not have you try to convince me for the 10,786,098th time that those filthy Muggles deserve the power a wizard can have. Every “wizard” and “witch” with Muggle blood is considered second-class and will always be,”

“My friends here are from Muggle families and they can defeat any of those Pure blood students in our grade especially the ones from the Slytherin House. It seems that your thinking is just egotistical wishing Founder,” Chris said with a mocking tone.

“You dare mock my house?! Watch your tone boy! I may have only a fraction of my powers, but the bit I have is still enough to send you to oblivion!” Salazar said as his face turned red and his figure started to get bigger, green mist flowing out.

“Don’t get angry Salazar. This boy is simply defending his friends whom you have indirectly insulted. I understand your anger. However, if you keep on doing this in my home, I will seriously be angry,” Rowena said as her figure started to get larger and blue mist started to flow out as well.

Salazar clicked his tongue and he turned back to his original self, but he still glared at Chris.

“Sit down children. We have a lot to talk about,” Helga said with a smile as she created 3 more wooden chairs for Chris, Hermione, and Kristine to sit on.
